Have fun

the rig i drive at work has 1400 ft/lbs of torque. these clutches are pissy little arms that dont even feel like a clutch. try driving something with a mans clutch in it in big city rush hour

I have the CM stage 3, It gets some getting used to for sure. I still stall it if I am not paying attention. The worst is if I have to stop going up a hill in traffic.

Got the car and no problems at all. Didn't stall it first time out and no problems at all. did stall twice but that was just a brain fart letting the clutch out while at a stop sign waiting for traffic.

The car is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Take your time to get to know the car.
